Why Investing in Yourself Is the Best Decision You’ll Ever Make

This morning, at a time I consider truly auspicious, I found myself scrolling through social media reels. Suddenly, I came across a video where the speaker said something that struck me deeply:

“Before Goddess Lakshmi (symbolizing wealth) enters your life, Goddess Saraswati (symbolizing knowledge) must be present.”

That statement resonated with me on a profound level. It took me back to a time a few years ago when I was lost — just figuring things out, exploring, and learning. In many ways, I still am. Because learning is a lifelong journey, and there is no full stop until our last breath. But one thing I now understand clearly is this: the best investment you can ever make is the one you make in yourself.

A few years ago, I was naive, lacked knowledge, and struggled with self-confidence. My communication skills were weak, and public speaking terrified me. But everything changed when I made a conscious decision to invest in my personal growth — financially, mentally, and emotionally. I started reading books, taking courses, working on my health, and improving my mindset. And as I grew, so did my opportunities. I was able to monetize my skills across multiple platforms and create a life I once only dreamed of.
